NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pillow package and not the python-pillow package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 9.2.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow performs quadratic copying when saving a GIF with a long comment. _get_global_header() repeatedly copies portions of comment data while assembling the global header, including comments retained from an untrusted input image. An attacker can supply an image with a large GIF comment to an application that saves it as GIF. This can consume excessive CPU and delay or deny service. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
